Just an early morning Jupiter, with my usual planetary gear, HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher Acceptable seeing but poor transparency.

In today’s astrophotography world there is this tendency to make stuff “internet-beautiful”: nice(?) colors, but oversaturated, sharp, applying HDR three times too many and so on. However, I like the images with a feeling of retro, with that of the pioneers, when it wasn’t about checking out a google image and then pressing buttons with a gear worth a fortune. When there was a sense of new, exploration, experimentation, challenge. Having written a photo planning software is not the best approach perhaps, but the city sky, the balcony’s narrow field of view, and the lack of alignment gave enough challenges for this one.
HEQ5, N250/1200, UHC, ASI 178MM
Observing from my balcony, I managed to dig out the M61 galaxy featuring the SN 2020jfo supernova. I used the HEQ5 + N250/1200 with the ASI 178MM and an UHC filter. (tovább…)
Using the instruments in the balcony observatory, HEQ5, N250/1200, TSO ADC, ASI 224MC (cooled), home observatory, mountpusher, I imaged Jupiter and Saturn, with HD188546 photobombing the jovial family.
I used my usual Venus gear: EQ3 with the added ST4 port, N150/750, filterwheel, OIII + VenusU and CaK, ASI 178MM cooled.
